`pactl list` output without alsa device
I had much the same problem. Partially it was due to this: bug 753160. Running "authconfig --update --nostart" fixed part of the problem (the login wasn't being recorded by systemd and so permissions weren't being correctly set). Then deleting ~/.pulse/ and logging out and logging back in again fixed it for me. Thanks David, authconfig --update fixed this for me. I've updated from F15 to F16 using preupgrade and since that I had no audio devices available after login, but root had access to them (for example by "sudo aplay -l"). The same steps as David Howells did worked for me too and it is all ok now. I've updated from F15 to F16 using preupgrade and since that I had no audio
devices available after login,
Root did not have access to the either.
The same steps as David Howells did worked for me to find the devices on login but when I run test speakers from the sound icon, it crashes. Rythmbox also crashes with a different fault.
Both pulseaudio, and later rythmbox fail.
Previously, from fedora unity, this has worked for all users:
su -c "usermod -aG pulse,pulse-access,jackuser,audio root"
But I don't think this gets to the bottom of the problem.
Hear are fail logs from pulseaudio and rythmbox after authconfig --updateall --nostop (reboot as well).

Going through the commands from the original post, here is what I get after authconfig --updateall --nostop (reboot as well).
fyi, pactl list fails with permission problems.

Blog Might be easier to read. 4 links to come up with this...so far.

fyi, I also lost X11, and ran nvidia-xconfig to restore. AsRock MB has onboard AC97, Nvidia has HDMI Audio. Audio hardware reported is correct.
I had this exact same problem. David Howells solution above fixed it ! Note that for me sound worked when logged in as root but didn't when logged in as any other user. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
